Story

September 2015

This is my personal challenge in tribute to my late wife Liz, who was so very brave in facing her illness and no matter how she felt she would always have a smile for you. St Barnabas Lincolnshire Hospice gave us both the support  and care that was so very priceless at the most difficult of times. They were not the only organisation to help Liz but they were there right to the end. This challenge is what I have wanted to do for many years but Liz would not let me for fear of something going wrong and losing me. So sorry Liz you can't stop me now!

You may think I am mad to jump out of a perfectly good aeroplane , well you might be right but then it wouldn't be a challenge if it was easy. So please support me in supporting St Barnabas Lincolnshire Hospice so they can keep providing the care and facilities for people in need.

I am being joined in this challenge by several work colleagues from Focus Consultants who all have their own personal reasons for doing a tandem parachute jump. However, we are also making the leap as part of the company's  21st Birthday celebrations which are taking place in 2015.
